Hey guys. Does anyone know how long it takes for their admission package to come in the mail? I got an email on Monday for the admission confirmation and I’ve been waiting for it since then. It’s Friday now and I haven’t received anything yet. Another question (I know this information might be on the admission package), what are the next steps after accepting your admission and paid the deposit? I want to do the all requirements asap. Thank you in advance for the advice!

Hey everyone. Just got accepted to the program. I am a transfer student from the same institution but different faculty. Is deposit not required for my application since I’m only changing programs(it does say so on my portal)? Need advice from those who are on the same boat! Thanks guys! And looking forward to meeting you all this January!!

Anyone here applied for the transfer route program like I did? And does anyone know the number of seats they are offering for both degree and transfer route?

@Michaela1999 really? Who did you speak with? If it’s 3.42 then my gpa is still in. I have 3.54. This is so confusing. I don’t know which one to believe now. I spoke with ****** yesterday. I’ll come back in a week or two to check in about. I hope we’re all getting a fair chance. Did she mention about when you’ll know if you’re in or not?

Hey @Michaela1999 I just talked to the admissions lady and she said that the gpa cutoff right now is 3.64. She also said that she has never seen the minimum this high before. :( they did make a mistake on calculating my gpa but she said it may or may not put back on the waitlist. Just praying that it would.

Yeah it’s strange that you have not gotten an offer yet. I’ve read that thread too and she contested the decline decision and she got in. Try to come in and see them just to ask about your application. @nvishaa I hope we all get in!

@Michaela1999 LOL yup I’m clearly following the thread wrong. I will show up on Monday for sure. I’ve called them and even made an appointment before to make sure that the courses I picked were the right requirements so I think my courses wouldn’t be the problem because I only took one course outside of uofc. The gpa on the letter that they calculated for me is 3.49 and they said that it is below the minimum admission average. I wonder what was the cutoff then if that’s the case.

From what I calculated on my UofC portal, the 5 required courses and 5 previously taken courses my gpa would sit at 3.54. Yes I have the athabasca course but on my transcript from that uni is showing up the same on my uofc portal so, I really need to ask her about it now. I think you have a higher gpa than me. I thought you already got in?

I’m applying for transfer @Michaela1999 I actually just got the decline letter and the gpa they put on there is lower than I expected. Do you maybe think that my gpa was miscalculated? And do you know how they calculate the gpa? I will go on my Monday to ask her about it because I’m really shock of how low the gpa that they had on my letter.

Hey @Seraina2020 are you also waitlisted for Fall 2019? or are you just applying for January entry? I'm going to apply for a change of program for winter entry too. Need to boost my gpa and take another exam for the biol 235 I took from Athabasca. Hopefully that would be enough to get in next sem. Don't be nervous, you have a good GPA so you have a high chance of getting in. ? do you want to create a thread for January 2020 with me?

Thank you @Michaela1999 . You're so kind. But unfortunately I'm off the waitlist and got declined. ? My GPA is 3.54, so don't lose hope @nvishaa you still have a shot. I'm just wondering now what the cut off is for the GPA, I'm going there on Monday to gain some info on it, maybe take my chances to contest the decline if possible. If I don't really have a chance, I will just apply for January 2020 entry. And another thing, is your friend still waitlisted with the 3.44 GPA? Please let me know if you have any news about that. Rooting for you to get in!

hey @nvishaa how's it going? have you heard any news yet for your application? I, too, am waiting and very nervous about being on the waitlist.
